Final Fantasy has some great tracks over the years, and while creep and horror are not exactly the first words that come to mind when thinking of Final Fantasy, let alone it's sweeping scores of passion and adventure, the series has had it's fair share of tracks meant to unsettle the player.

To make this more interesting, I plan on taking only one track per game.

Final Fantasy XV drops in little over a month and Square keeps dripping information for the game. Today, we have four minute gameplay video of Noctis casting this iteration's Death spell. Death in this game works a bit differently than what we're used to seeing in the series. A purple light emerges from Noctis's hand and the enemy's health is slowly drained and converted to Noctis while it grows thin and eventually disappears. It's definitely different and seems to be more accurate than its appearances in other games with the downside being that it isn't instantaneous.
You can watch the gameplay trailer below. Final Fantasy XV hits PlayStation 4 and PC on November 29.

Today, we are treated to a new character trailer for Dissidia Final Fantasy. Today's character is Ace from Final Fantasy Type-0. He is a member of Class Zero and like Setzer from Final Fantasy VI, he uses cards for weapons. He appears to be a range based character. He will playable in Japanese arcades on September 28. There is currently no word on a North American release date.

Square Enix's followup to NieR made it to Tokyo Game Show this year and with a new demo showing off the tech and stylized combat that the developer Platinum Games is known for. The two gameplay videos were released from these demos showed off some impressive feats. The first displaying a story segment of the game that blends this action game with 2D side scrolling with a bit of platforming ensuring that the game will always give you new ways to keep your attention.

The second video shows off the High Score Challenge Mode which is basic arena battle mode where you attempt to rack up as most points as possible within the time limit. Here we can witness the high speed intense combat in all it's glory. The attacks are viscous and visceral and even from the video you can feel the blows being delivered on each enemy. The combat appears very smooth and intuitive. In this gif we can see YoRHa switching from gauntlets to katanna halfway into the air combo flawlessly.

Getting a head start on celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Final Fantasy Franchise next year, Square Enix has opened a site dedicated to it at http://www.finalfantasy.jp/30th/. Unfortunately, the site is entirely in Japanese, so unless you plan on brushing up on your Nihongo, then the most you'll get out of it is watching the promo video and listening to the sweet tunes that play in the background. There's no word yet (in English anyway) on what they plan on doing to celebrate the big 3-0, or if they plan on celebrating it world wide (they may wait for the western release anniversary to do that, however, that won't be until 2020).

You remember Final Fantasy IV? That game about the old man and the bard who go head to head in one of the most heated battles ever seen in an RPG to date. There's also something about a dude getting redemption or whatever. Seriously though, while redemption is a central theme to Final Fantasy IV's plot, I'm here to talk about another message. That of being true to yourself.

On the most recent Dissidia stream, Square Enix revealed a new title for the Final Fantasy series, Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia. This title is a spinoff of a spinoff, departuring from the fighting game aspect of the Dissidia Final Fantasy series with turn-based RPG action. The UI and battle animations are in the style of the Dissidia fighting games, making them just a bit too garish and flashy for me. The game includes characters never before seen in the Dissidia series like XIII's Sazh,VIII's Seifer, Fujin, and Raijin, and Type-0's Rem Tokimiya. Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia will be coming to iOS and Android sometime this year in Japan only. You can check out the reveal trailer below and the game's website here.

Today, Final Fantasy XV's official Youtube channel released a video showcasing the voice actors of some of the main characters of the game. After much speculation, the official voices have finally been revealed (with Kari Wahlgren, the voice of Ashe from FFXII returning as Aranea Highwind, though she isn't featured in the video).

Each of the actors soeajs about what makes their characters compelling to work with, and what the overall impression that Final Fantasy XV made on them was. Click on the video below to check them out for yourself!

What are your thoughts on the voice actors and their respective talents? Do you think they fit what we know of the characters so far? (Personally, the reveal that Matthew Mercer was playing the role of Cor Leonis made my inner fangirl squee.)
